From MSNBC – http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27645085/ — if you just do your nutrition management based on glycemic index, you are fooling yourself. This article makes some good points about why GI isn’t as meaningful as one might think.

Pull-Ups – Get Some And Then Get Some More
Get some, and then get some more. Just put in the Studbar Pullup Bar and have been working on my pullups. Yup, I continue to be a fitness geek. This bar is awesome. The rafters in my garage are 2x4s so I may sister them up just to make me feel a little better about not pulling down the roof when I’m using it, but it generally feels pretty solid. The crossbar itself has a little flex to it, which is also good.
Of course, we all gave it a try — and have the sore hands to prove it.
Journaling
Fascinating website on journaling. I’m a pen and paper guy — I carry a Moleskine notebook in my back pocket all the time — I should write down what’s going on in my life in addition to all of the work notes that I take. I like some of the ideas that this website proposes for keeping things going if you journal.
Recirculation of Urban Legends
I just got another e-mail referencing Ben Stein’s Christmas comments and had to pause to reflect on the fact that this is the third year that I’ve gotten e-mail with this. The first one was sent to me back in mid 2006, with another round in 2007 and now one in 2008. True, the seasonal nature of this particular legend means that it’ll continue to circulate in the later months of every year, but I wonder what the half-life of such a legend is.
